Video: Ganduje Finally Revealed Reasons For Dethroning Muhammadu Sanusi

Ganduje Has Finally Disclosed Reasons For Dethroning Muhammadu Sanusi.
OnyxNews Nigeria gathered that Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, governor of Kano state, said former emir Muhammadu Sanusi II was dethroned because he is better as “a social critic” than a traditional ruler.
Governor Ganduje made this revealed on Friday, February 12, when he appeared as a guest on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme monitored by OnyxNews Nigeria.
According to Ganduje, Sanusi, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was given a marching order because “he doesn’t understand the responsibilities of a traditional ruler.”
“The real story is that the deposed emir of Kano did not understand the responsibilities of a traditional ruler especially for a strong institution like that of Kano. “You see, the deposed emir of Kano was a social critic, a celebrated social critic.

“And that was nothing wrong with that. He is an educated person, he has freedom of speech,” Ganduje said.

Recall that Sanusi, a 14th Emir of Kano from the Fulani Sullubawa clan, ascended the throne on June 8, 2014, following the death of his grand-uncle late Ado Bayero. But he was dethroned on March 9, 2020, by Governor Ganduje over insubordination and alleged abuse of power before he was banished to Nasarawa state.
Sanusi later challenged his banishment in the court of law.
He later relocated to his house in Lagos after the court ruled that his banishment was unconstitutional and unlawful.
